The Chicago Times says OF
"Shamus O'Brien." SAT the Stan
dard romantic Irish comedy-drama,
founded upon the well-known poem,
"Shamus O'Brien." was given last
Sunday night before a very large
audience. Mr.. Chas. Erin Werner, a
noted actor from Dublin, played the
title role with effective delineation of
patriotic feeling and genuine humor
where it was frequently called for.
He is a fine looking and capable
actor, possessing a sweet. clear tenor,
which, fortunately for his audiences,
he makes great deal of. His sup
port is made up of intelligent people,
and as the play is strong and inter
esting it promises 20 have success
full week. +"
The first of series Of entertain
ments to be given under the auspices
of the Lecture League occurred last
Monday evening when the Hon. Geo.
r. Vending opened the course with
his famous lecture on Stonewall Jack
son. The lecturer is no stranger TO
the citizens Of Owosso, and each time
he addresses them adds more to his
host of admirers. The subject of the
discourse is one that presented many
new phases to Northern people and
showed to what extent the Confeder-
acy was dependent upon his work by
the statement that in less than three
months after his death that advance
against Richmond had commenced,
which was to end at .Appomattox.
His views upon the relations of the
Southern and Northern people before
the war was certainly original even il
wee annot accept his statement that
only war could fuse them irto one
homogeneous whole.
